Recommendations

The minimum recommendation to the Court or the Office of the Secretary of State related to each classification is as follows:

Minimal Risk

Completion of a minimum of ten hours of DUI risk education.

Moderate Risk

Completion of a minimum of ten hours of DUI risk education and a minimum of 12 hours of early intervention provided over a minimum of four weeks with no more then three hours per day in any seven consecutive days, subsequent completion of any and all necessary treatment, and, after, active on-going participation in all activities specified in the continuing care plan, if recommended, following completion of the early intervention.

Significant Risk

Completion of a minimum of ten hours of DUI risk education and a minimum of 20 hours of substance abuse treatment and after discharge, active on-going participation in all activities specified in the continuing care plan.

High Risk

Completion of a minimum of 75 hours of substance abuse treatment and, after discharge, active on-going participation in all activities specified in the continuing care plan.

In all cases, it is at the discretion of the Court to determine what type of recommendation, if any, will ultimately become a part of the sanction for the DUI offense. However, if the alcohol and drug evaluation is for the Office of the Secretary of State in relation to the return of full or limited driving privileges, the defendant will be required to complete any recommendations contained in the alcohol and drug evaluation.

The defendant has the right to refuse the completed alcohol and drug evaluation, to withdraw from the process at any time, or to seek a second opinion by obtaining another evaluation. However, any information provided may be released to the Court or the Office of the Secretary of State, upon request. If the evaluation procedure is not completed, notice will be sent to the Court or the Office of the Secretary of State.
